its more of a find a place that sells the pieces in japan, then ship it over affair.

the shipping kills unless you know someone with international shipping connections.
example: rear bumper to LA from japan by air is like 700-800, by sea 400-500.

VIS also makes a copy of the RS kit.

fyi: its probably cheaper getting side skirts here from a dealer. S skirts = RS skirts.

also the overseas kit will not fit on the front and back our bumper dimensions are different than the JDM car.. The VIS kit should be no problem.

it fits. you have to (1) remove the rear bumper support, as japanese cars dont have one (2) get japanese bumper support brackets, because jdm ones are shorter.

yeah. the rear bumper is a beautiful thing if you can justify the $800 plus paint. it looks real nice! also the tail lights run about $300. sometimes you can find a good deal on them, so keep a look out if it is something you are interested in. i was "shopping" for about 4 months before i found a deal. same for the bumper, sometimes they just pop up for cheap, but are gone in a matter of hours. (and other rare goodies)

I have an RS kit on mine and there is absolutely no need to adjust your exhaust.

Where did you get your RS kit from? is it the replica that VIS has? TIA

It's a replica kit, but not from VIS. I purchased mine through MicroImage a few years ago along with my air suspension. Sadly, they are not around anymore. My upper and lower grills are OEM RS Vitz and no modifications were needed either, and I chose to do LED reflectors in the rear bumper rather than just plain reflectors since my taillights are color matched with an OEM clearcoat/paint mix.
